I was researching home remedies the other day and I came across a really unique one. It used a penny taped over the site of the sting. Do this immediately and it stops the pain and the next day you will most likely not even see it. I have never been stung but this sounds really simple and easy to remember. Do you have any great ideas or rememdies that work?

I'm sorry I don't have any great remedies for a bee or wasp sting because I'm so highly allergic. I carry and epi pen with me always and every year without fail I get stung. Last year it was in the eye and it was a crazy day let me tell you. I know my mom got stung and she uses a stick pen she bought at walmart for stings she said was very effective the pharmacist helped her find it
sorry I could have not been of more help

The best thing we have found for bee stings is to wet the area and put baking soda on it. It seems to pull out the poision.
Although my husband is allergic to bee stings so we have to keep an anka kit for him.

I have never heard of any of those remedies. I have used mud and baking soda paste and both work quite well. Both of them have a property in them that will draw out the poison of the sting as it dries on the site. Other than that, I wouldn't know what to use.
